New King James Version
Isaiah 5:8-14
8Woe to those who join house to house; They add field to field, Till there is no place Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!
9In my hearing the Lord of hosts said, “Truly, many houses shall be desolate, Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant.
10For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, And a homer of seed shall yield one ephah.”
11Woe to those who rise early in the morning, That they may follow intoxicating drink; Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!
12The harp and the strings, The tambourine and flute, And wine are in their feasts; But they do not regard the work of the Lord, Nor consider the operation of His hands.
13Therefore my people have gone into captivity, Because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst.
14Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.
